[amsat-bb] Yaesu 5500 Connectors

2013-06-16 Thread Gary Joe Mayfield
If I remember correctly someone had found a source for the Yaesu 5500 rotor connectors from a regular supplier (Digi Key, Mouser or the like). Does someone have that info handy, as I find myself in need of a few (in a hurry). Thanks and 73, Joe kk0sd

I'm testing my Field Day setup all day, and AO-7 is definitely on the list. If it's in the wrong mode for me, then I guess I'll get a chance to see how well my BuddiPole works as a satellite antenna on 10 Meters! I'll let you know what I hear today. 73, Jim KQ6EA On 06/16/2013 03:52 PM,

I just heard it a few minutes ago in Mode B. Two stations on SSB, several CW, and a lot of FM'ing. I could barely hear my downlink on a 60* pass, so not sure what's going on. I was able to get into FO-29 earlier today FB, so I know my station is working. 73, Jim KQ6EA On 06/16/2013 03:52

FM'ing no batteries solar only so no regulation on the voltage bus, stations that can't hear keep turning up their power until they can hear and then the sat starts fm'ing because they are hogging all the available power and so others now have a hard time using the sat... age old story
